My Take

Wilson Chandler is my kind of unglamorous survivor. A 203 cm forward out of Benton Harbor, he grinded through 13 NBA seasons with the Knicks and Nuggets, the sort of versatile role player whose absence a team only notices when he's gone. What I respect most is his nerve during the 2011 lockout, packing up to play in China rather than sit idle. No blue-chip pedigree, just a kid from a Michigan high school and DePaul who earned every minute. Careers don't last that long by accident. He understood his value and kept proving it, and that quiet professionalism deserves applause.
